I asked Simon what is Litnit. He said: “LITNIT is my another logo”
Sounds like it has lice, just sayin…
I have been a follower of Simon’s for a long time, but it’s doubtful any litnit lights will appear on my shelves.
It’s pronounced “rake” :smiling_imp:
Pill is copper right?
So total weight would be more than 200 grams with batttery.
a bit high for an EDC
Curious to see the factory where is produced
I’ve got a “Convoy” one from the 2nd batch. It is much heavier than an Al S2+. Feels good in the hand but it is heavy. I can pop it on scale if you want the exact weight.
The fit and finish are superb. For me, this is a special light and I don’t carry it around. I do use it, but mostly at home.
Looks like the “smooth” copper s2+ sold out quickly. Darn missed it!
Did anyone recall what price Simon was asking for the copper S2+ pills before they sold out?
I paid under $14 for 4
My messages back and forth with Simon on AE said that the pill was brass by default but (at the time) copper was available. I wanted to make mine a triple, so I ordered one of Hoop’s “big RET” copper pills (search the forum for “big ret” and “hoop”). This thing is going to be heavy, and I am ok with that.
The copper S2+’s are hefty. I have one modded with a copper single emitter kiriba-ru pill, with a non-protected 18650, it’s 230g. With a copper triple pill (not just a spacer) it’s 245g
So the copper host have brass pill?
Much better an Alu host with copper pill.
Could you send me Pm where find these “Big Ret”copper pill for triple and single Led?
Greetings
They come with the standard S2+ brass pill.
Simon recently made a copper S2+ pill available for sale, it is not included with the copper S2+’s
The “Big Ret” copper pills were made by a forum member, Hoop, but they weren’t easy to make and he’s said he’s not making any more. I believe he may have some triple pills left but none of the single pills.
Kiriba-ru also makes copper pills available, both for triples and singles, and as far as I know, he’s currently the best source of copper pills for S2+’s
The thread where you can find the pills made by Hoop is here: FS: Copper "BIG RET" S2+ triple heatsinks [Closed]
Since you are in the EU, it might be cheaper to get one from kiriba-ru (I believe he is in Russia). Hoop’s pills are impressive, but I’ve heard nice things about kiriba-ru’s as well.
EDIT: Misspelled kiriba-ru’s name (sorry)
My 2nd batch S2+ light has the standard brass pill and a BLF A6 driver. It weighs 176g with no battery and 216g with a 30Q.
Nice photo
compared this copper S2+ with a classic alu s2+, same cfg pill driver and led .
There is a big advantage about heat dissipation to the external?
The spreading of heat should be very significantly better, the dissipation of the heat to air did not change (same surface area). This means that the should run cooler for longer but the sustainable output level should not change dramatically , but still a little because the better heat spreading effectively makes more of the outer surface available for dissipation.
Really interest and thanks for these info
But there is still good advantage of heat dissipation on copper s2+ with brass pill vs Alu s2+ with copper pill?
My S2+ with no cell and no lanyard, Hoop copper pill triple, weighs 198.9 grams.
Just received my 18350 tubes. Unfortunately, the thread pitch on them is completely different to be usable.
Does this mean they won’t work with Version 1 or 2 copper
What????
